Our research activities are focussed on the design and production-oriented manufacture of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) for applications in quantum technology, industry-related sensor technology and biomedical technology. The institute's core competencies lie in thin-film technology, structuring technology, assembly and connection technology, as well as the mechanical processing and characterisation of MEMS and MEMS materials.

The Institute's activities are focussed on microelectronics and computer engineering. They include the conception, design and evaluation of architectures and integrated mixed-signal or digital circuits (microchips) as well as methods and tools for computer-aided design (Electronic Design Automation (EDA)).

The ‘Architectures and Systems’ department covers the areas of conception, design and evaluation of architectures, as well as medical electronics systems, power electronics, driver assistance systems and the associated algorithms for digital signal (including video and audio data) processing. 

Increasing flexibility, safety and efficiency in manufacturing, transport and handling processes are the main tasks of the Institute of Transport and Automation Technology (ITA). The continuous increase in requirements for transport and automation processes means that there is a growing need for holistic approaches to solutions, from decision algorithms and the design of circuits to applications in intralogistics and manufacturing.

The Department of Sensor and Measurement Technology at the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Measurement Technology at Leibniz Universität Hannover concentrates on the development of new physical and chemical sensor principles, new sensors (especially nanoscale sensors) and compact measurement systems including the electronics and software for rapid detection of trace compounds in liquids and gases, mainly for medical, biotechnological, environmental and safety and security applications. Research spans from fundamental scientific questions to application-oriented projects in close cooperation with scientific, clinical and industrial partners.
